Obsessed with projects.
I finally did it.. I finally convinced my husband to crawl up in our attic, lay between the trusses surrounded in mounds of blown in insulation to install recessed lights in my kitchen. YEP I have officially decided NOTHING can or will stop my husband from succeeding at any project he sets his mind to doing.
Here Justin is taking down the ugly flourescent light that was in our kitchen
Here he is laying head down between the trusses (our ceiling is vaulted)he didn’t even hit his head on any of the roofing nails above!
that doesn’t look itchy at all!
This is the finished product!! YAY! This picture only showes 4 cans but he did a total of 8. It turned out great! (and I actually helped with this project)
We have lived in our house for almost 3 years & over the three years Justin has completed MANY MANY projects around this house. Just to name a few:
1. He finished our basement He framed, did all the electrical, sheetrocked, finish work (with his friend Jeff’s help) painted it and did the tile work in the bathroom
2. He built a covered patio in our back yard.
This is before the soffit & fascia was done
3. He installed our Vinyl fence
4. He has done roof repairs & hung Christmas lights (willingly)
5. Chair rail & paint in our bedroom:
We have done many more projects
6. I have painted the family room, kitchen, living room, Maeli’s, Savanna’s & our bedroom.
7. Installed a new dishwasher & kitchen sink
8. All new toilet seats on all toilets
9. All new exterior lights
10. New storm door & landscape lighting
6. Planted 8 new trees in our yard
7. Installed a second hot water heater, water softener & sink in the garage
8. Built shelves & a work bench in the garage (below)
We have been very fortunate as I have a bonus program at work that gives me the opportunity to earn home depot or lowe’s gift cards every month to help fund these projects otherwise I don’t think alot of them would have gotten done.
Needless to say I think we are running out of projects to do on this house… maybe it is time to build? (haha)
